This OfficeRnD post argues that using AI to "vibe code" your own coworking software works fine for quick prototypes, but breaks down once you handle real billing, security, and maintenance at scale. It cites a Veracode study showing 45% of AI-generated code introduced a known security vulnerability, plus separate research putting the risk even higher.

The advice is to price out a full year of upkeep, covering bugs, compliance, and integrations like Xero and QuickBooks, before picking a DIY build over an established vendor, using Common Desk‘s switch to a vendor platform as a real-world example.

OfficeRnD launches a new feature in Flex Growth Hub: operators can now offer ancillary services (catering, AV equipment, parking, staffing and more) directly within the booking and membership checkout flow.

This was one of the most requested features from the Coworking Leaders I interviewed for our Undercurrents edition on coworking ecommerce.

OfficeRnD added the ability for operators to create multi-pack offers (and discounts) within a single plan. This keeps inventory lists neat, but also presents offers and deals neatly via their Growth Hub e-com platform.

Asen Stoyanchev from OfficeRnD shares a practical guide to measuring lead decay in your coworking sales pipeline, naming the cause, and stopping it before leads go cold.
